Cycling, camping, cycling and camping, SAABs. Bit of everything really. A bit left of Castro

You should wind your neck in; if it wasnβt for cyclists, roads as you know them wouldnβt exist.
The one that winds me up (and led to a 24hr argument with my best friend) is where people write lb/ft for torque. Iβll overlook that it should be SI units, but how do they get it so wrong?!

Rollers are hard! Should have just gone out in the rain.
Weatherβs horrible so have pulled out the rollers for the first time in a very long time. Wish me luck!

It is your entitlement thatβs on show; not the cyclists.

Oh you donβt? Lucky you!
Garmin directed me along the canal on Sunday, which was covered in rotting leaves. I have never ridden so slowly and went on the A road on the way home instead.
